Investors looking to bet against the soaring shares of newly-listed Arm Holdings may have to wait at least a day before the stock becomes available for shorting, analysts said. Shares in SoftBank's Arm Holdings opened 18% above their offer price in their Nasdaq debut on Thursday, valuing the British chip designer at nearly $60 billion in its return to the public markets after seven years. Investors can begin selling the shares short as soon as their broker has reasonable grounds to believe that the security can be borrowed - in market parlance, be able to "locate" the shares, said Ihor Dusaniwsky, managing director of predictive analytics at S3 Partners.

U.S. consumer spending accelerated in July, but slowing inflation strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates unchanged next month. Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, increased 0.8% last month, the Commerce Department reported on Thursday. Slowing inflation and a still tight labor market, which is keeping wage gains elevated, are supporting consumer spending and propping up the economy.

The latest data follows other recent reports that suggest the economy and the job market may be slowing enough to cool inflation pressures.
